The safety and security of our teams are our top priority."A special report by The Press Service of Israel on Thursday in July found that, according to the UN's own numbers, a staggering 85% of the aid entering the Gaza Strip by truck since May 19 has been stolen. The investigation found that a combination of black market profiteers and inflation has made much of the aid in Gaza markets unaffordable for most on Tuesday, an Israeli academic study released by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that humanitarian aid intended to alleviate suffering in war zones often ends up prolonging the very conflicts it seeks to examination of prolonged conflicts in Somalia, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Gaza by Hebrew University law professor Netta Barak-Corren and Dr. Jonathan Boxman concluded that aid diversion is not a rare mishap but a systemic feature of the current humanitarian study drew on United Nations reports, NGO records and investigative accounts, documenting how humanitarian agencies often strike informal agreements with local power brokers or armed factions to maintain access.

40 protestors detained for marching towards Parliament, let off
At least 40 people were detained on Tuesday afternoon after a group of dog lovers gathered near the Hanuman Mandir at Delhi's Connaught Place to protest against the Supreme Court order directing removal of all stray dogs from the streets of Delhi-NCR. This is the second day in a row that animal activists have been detained for protesting against the order. Protestors were detained at Civil Lines police station and Model Town police station on Tuesday after they allegedly began marching towards the Parliament. They were subsequently released around 7-8 pm, said police, adding that no case has been registered so far. Police said Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) has been imposed near Parliament, and no gathering is allowed ahead of Independence Day and during the House's ongoing Monsoon Session. The Delhi Police had earlier detained and later booked 27 people late Monday for holding a protest earlier in the day against the SC order. A group of animal rights activists had given a call for a protest at Kartavya Path on Monday evening. 'We want the dogs to be protected. There are no shelter homes to accommodate so many dogs. In the end, they will throw all the dogs outside Delhi, where they will die,' a caregiver told mediapersons while being escorted away by the police. 'As many as 27 people who gathered at Kartavya Path to protest were detained on Monday evening. They were later booked for violating the prohibitory orders under Section 223 (offense of disobedience to an order duly promulgated by a public servant) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Kartavya Path police station,' an officer said, adding that those booked did not take permission to hold the protest. In Gurgaon, a peaceful demonstration was held at Galleria Market on Tuesday evening to protest SC order. Dozens showed up despite it being a weekday, said participants. Sapna Dutt (63), a Gurgaon-based yoga teacher, who was at the protest, said, 'We don't want animals on the streets, even dogs don't want to be on the roads. Mass sterilisations should have been held decades ago, but it wasn't done.' Sudhir Sachdeva (53), founder of Delhi-based Stand for Animals told The Indian Express, 'The centres identified in NCR will not be sufficient. If correct measures towards vaccination and sterilisation are taken, rabies and overpopulation of stray dogs can be contained. But this order of removing them from the streets is not right, and not as per law (ABC rules).'

CM Sukhu urges youth to actively support govt efforts to make Himachal a drug-free State
Amid concerns over the rising drug menace, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Tuesday (August 12, 2025) urged the youth to actively support the State government's efforts to make Himachal a drug-free State by reporting drug traffickers to the police. Speaking in Shimla, on the occasion of International Youth Day, the Chief Minister assured that the government was committed to rehabilitating those trapped in the drug menace. He added that strict action was being taken against drug mafias, including confiscation of their properties. 'Today's youth are the future of the nation and the progress of Himachal Pradesh is directly linked to their well-being,' said Mr. Sukhu. 'The reforms we are implementing today will benefit the youth in the next five years, when they will proudly say they belong to the most prosperous State in the country,' he added. The Chief Minister said that the Government was creating employment and self-employment opportunities for the youth, besides encouraging start-ups. 'To promote tourism, the State would invest ₹3,000 crore in the coming years. The government was offering loans at a 4% interest rate for home-stay construction. Presently, about 8,000 home-stays are operational in the State and tourism activities have begun along the China border. These steps would go a long way in promoting the tourism activities in the State,' he pointed out. The Chief Minister said that 6,000 orphaned children have been declared 'Children of the State', and financial support for higher education under the Dr. YS Parmar Vidyarthi Rin Yojana, which offers loans up to ₹20 lakh at just 1 % interest rate, was also being implemented in the State. He said the State government was promoting natural farming, offering minimum support prices for wheat, maize, raw turmeric and barley. 'Himachal aims to become a leader in natural farming, with processed products being made available through fair price shops,' he said.
